Pretty much each and every morning I come to the table with nothing but a blank page. I sit at my computer and I look at white, empty space. Life is like that on a daily basis. Each day we have the option of filling that page with the most creative, positive thoughts and ideas or we can allow it to be filled with our disappointments and discouragements. We can even hand the “pen” to another and let them write our story. We can allow others to control us. To deride us and to distract us.

I often think of my life and my day as that blank page. Stark white and empty, it can either hold promise or fear. If this is the only page of my life, would my children know that I love them? Would my wife? My friends? Who will read it?

Legacy is the stuff eternity is made of. Oh, we can do lots of things, but only a few may turn out to be eternal, turn out to have promise. Each day I lay my life out to the best of my ability determining my process, believing for divine interventions and connections.

Today, I will work on a friend’s web site, work on my book, add a page to my manual and be at our fellowship to pray. Others may connect with me during the day, but for the most part my life is roughed out in the page for the day. I will add my “mini-vacation” in the day where I will dream. I will talk to my friend Jesus throughout the day. And hopefully at the end of this day my page will be full of promise, memories and the things to build for the future.

The Bible tells us in Psalm 45:1, “My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.” Much of what I write today will come out of my heart and my mouth. As I wrote in my book, I have the ability to superimpose the goodness of God in people’s lives by words and my actions.

Often times I wonder what I will write until I think what I would want someone to read. When I think of how my life is perceived, understood, I get ideas and thoughts and the expression of God moves through me.

Our lives have the ability to be read or not read. What will you write today?
